Keep your sweetheart cavity-free with healthy and delicious Valentine’s Day sweets!

How are you saying “I love you” this Valentine’s Day? While flowers, chocolates and a heartwarming card may be the usual go-to gift, Dr. Jerry Dunn and our team wanted to remind patients about a few healthy alternatives to the traditional Valentine’s Day box of chocolates.

When choosing a Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone, consider these nutritional options that will not only satisfy that “sweet tooth,” but won’t cause acid build up resulting in cavities:

• Fresh Fruits (berries, oranges, melon, pears, etc) - A delicious and fun Valentine’s gift, especially if presented in the form of an edible arrangement.
• Homemade Bread- Nothing shows thoughtfulness more than a homemade gift.
• Pretzels (low salt) - Chocolate or yogurt dipped pretzels are a tasty and healthy option.
• Heart shaped treats - Turn any healthy treat into a heartwarming gift with heart shaped cookie cutters and muffin tins. Be creative!

Happy Valentine’s Day, from all of us at Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas!
